WAS taken from his house by five masked
men last night and numerically beaten

He says they took turns and kept mp the

Another outrage is reported to-day from

ised a necktie party ii he did not leave the

Of masked men, with shOtgunS, fired
through the window of Mrs. Curtis house,
doubtless intending to kill the mother and

he asked the reason of it and no reply was
given. He denies any improper conduct

SAVED BY HER HUSBAND.
A Consumptive Whose Case Was DECLARED
Hopeless by the Physicians.

| A Consumptiye Whose Case Was Declared
Hopeless by the Physicians.
New ORLEANS, April 13.-The medical
fraternity of this city is considerably eX'
cited over the case of Mrs. L. w. Albers.
whose death within few days from gollOp'
ing consumption was declared certain by
several leading physicians month ago
but who is now apparently on the road tC
complete recovery.
She is the wife of A. W. Alber, a prOmi'
nent druggist of this city. When all the
doctors had given his wife up, Mr.. Albers
| determined To Try cabOnlC acid gas and
sulphuretted hydrogen gas as first admin
istcred by Prof. BergeOn, of Lyons, France,
and recently experimental with ut the
hospital in Philadelphia.
Two-thirds OF Mrs Albers' left lung
were destroyed when the treatment was
begun with an imprOvised apparatus on
March 26. The result of the first week
was a gain OF one pound clear. At the end
of the second week gain of two and hall
pounds making 4 cleaI gain ot three anda
! half pounds for two weeks.
One of the features was that the temper
ature, which upon the administration oi
the gas showed a fever heat of 102 degrees,
declined in half an hour TO % degrees. A
sudden drop of four degrees was followed
by craving for food, which seemed tC
agree perfectly with the patient, and fol-
lowed in half an hour by a drowsy senSa-
tion prompting the patient TO sleep, waken,
ing from which she had Il perfectly restiul
feeling. The gas reaches the lungs within
ten minutes after administration and is
clearly discerniblc on the breath by the
characteristic OdOr of the sulphurated by
drOgen which is used.
The apparatus used by Mr.. Albers was
improvised by himself and Is simple, con-
sistng OF two rather large sized bottles,
one containing the ingredients for making
carbonic acid gas, and the other charged to
generate suphuretted hydrogen gas The
bottles are connected by means OF small
rubber tubes, and the gas is collected OF
stored in a large bag similar to the laugh
ing gas bags" used by dentists. The gas
finds IN exit through rubber tube ending
in 4 syringe

Particulars of the Case just Decided at
Parkersburg.

Special Telegram 10 me RfQtacr.
PARKERsBURG,W w. Va, April 13-The
short telegram sent you last night gave but
general idea of the land case decided by
Judge John Jackson, of the L. S. Court
yesterday; in this an effort will be made
to partiCularize. The suit was brought by
the heirs of Allen II. CapertOn against
BENJAMIN Rich aud others, to recover n
tract of land of $1,000 acres in Webster
county, which the plaintiffs claimed was
rightfully theirs hut which the defendants
had in years past unlawlully obtained from
their (the plaintiffs ancestors, and still
unlawfully held. Judge Ferguson and ex-
Governor Jackson represented the plain
tiffs and Judge Boggess the defendants.
The case, which was decided in favor Of
plaintiffs, involved one of the most valua-
BILE tracts of land in Webster county.
In 1881 immense tracts OF land ,. inClud-
ing the one in question, and others in Ran
dOlph, Nicholas and Grcenbricr counties,
were forfeited fr nOn-payment of taxes,
and not entered upon the Commissioner
books. The land at the that time was
worth scarcely nothing, compared with
what it is to-day, though the amount was
nearly q million of acres. With but little
conscience, but with foresight that told
him this tract wOnld some day be worth
millieas, John B. Shrevcs, of Upshur
county, cOncOctCd the scheme of having
these lands re-cntered upon the tax dupli-
cate, sold for taxes, and by shrewd manipu-
lation get them into the possession OF him
self and others whom he took in with him.
This scheme was perfected between
OF Pennsylvania, Maryland and this
State shared in the plan. In 1868 there
were re-entered in Webster county alone
four tracts of III, 600 acres, l04, 600 acres,
100, 600 acres and II, 800 acres respective
ly. Bv various processes, transfers, bids,
cOnnivance of State officers and other I'M
derhand work, Benjamin Rich and other
parties got into possession of these lands
and have been living on them ever since.
A man named Allen T. CapertOn, who was
the lawful owner of these lands in Webster
county, died in 1878. His heirs immedi-
ately brought suit to recover their patri-
mony, which has Just been settled in their
favor. In the re-entering OF these
lands on the Commissioners books
there were very gross irreg-
ularities which tinged the whole
transaction with covering of fraud. From
the evidence adduced there is no little
ground for the opinion that the State Off
GERS were parties to the transaction. This
case is but one of a series that will he
brought to recover these lands now illegal
ly held. For wholesale, open robbery, there
probably has been no case of equal proper
tions in the history of the State. The Cap
erton heirs, who have recovered the prop
erty, have come into possession of an estate
whose value cannot be estimated. Webster
county is among the counties of the State
that are in process of development and the
tract in question is in the most available
part.
